Thailand’s health minister apologizes for not wearing a face mask

 

 

Thailand’s Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has offered a public apology for not wearing a face mask, while attending a social event to commemorate US United States Independence Day, at the US Embassy in Bangkok.

 

In addition to Mr. Anutin, several other Government and Opposition figures were seen, in pictures of the event, not wearing face masks either.

 

After the Cabinet meeting yesterday, Mr. Anutin told the media that he regretted not being a good role model by lowering his guard, while telling the other people not to lower theirs.

Here is an example of the Mask absurdity. He knows that it is ACTUALLY not going to protect him. If you were to ask him, and if he were to be honest, he would tell you what the vast majority of us already know...

...........that wearing a face covering helps reduce the transmission of the disease. 
 

It’s not about protecting him, it’s about helping protect others.

Beg you dog for forgiveness from the F'rrang masses for your holier than thou' hypocrisy .. and they put out a pic' with no one wearing a mask while gushing apologies for not wearing one at the U S' do ..

You have missed the point. If a cloth covering or surgical mask will not protect from inhaling an airborne virus... it is certainly not going to prevent you from exhaling it. Wrapping a chain link fence around your front porch to keep out the mosquitoes is what I meant by absurdity. If you wanted to truly advise the public how to prevent transmission of a deadly airborne virus.. go take a look at what an virologist wears in a lab. Again... from my original post, wearing these masks are absurd.

Maskas or no masks, kudos to him and the thai people, Let's us all just admit that many countries would or should be envious of Thailand and this administration of the huge success in controlling the virus and keeping it, so far, at bay...

Totally agree... no matter how it happened it is good news for everyone. I do wonder though if it has to do with testing. For example the U.S. is now providing free testing on nearly every street corner (yes a bit of an exaggeration) and correspondingly the amount of "cases" have gone up. In contrast, i suspect that Thailand does not have an aggressive testing capability thus the numbers, counting the numbers, remains low.

The guy is a dummy. Don’t try to act like he brought anything of value to Thailand.

I don't know where you have seen "free testing on every street corner" in USA, but I've driven through 8 states in the past week from Ohio to Oregon. Took a lot of effort to finally find a "drive through" test center yesterday.

 

Unless you are a health worker, showing symptoms, or had proven recent close contact with an infected person, and have a referral from a doctor, it is very difficult indeed to get tested in most US States.

He said these dirty  farangs without a facemask then how many times he has been caught himself in public without his facemask ?

[SaamBaht]

If everyone is wearing a mask, it reduces the risk of infection. Fail safe? No. But studies have shown it decreases the odds of infection. considerably.

 

BTW. wasn't this the yehoo that derided 'farang' for refusing face masks back when this thing started?

Huge success = no widespread testing, manipulated figures, tourism down the drain, millions of job losses, businesses going bust, the poor getting poorer, the rich getting richer, economic oblivion ... need I go on?

This whole CV-19 is a global hoax brought to you by the corrupt Globalists. Get over it. FM don't protect you from anything and CV-19 is unproven as in { not isolated } as in i.e. purified , which is a 70 year standard for labeling viruses and further more the the human geo nome grows stronger with exposure to virus's and bacteria. Natural body defenses mandate this. Obviously you sheeple believe the narrative and live in fear of dying. Probably because your old and compromised and take massive amounts of big pharma meds because your too lazy to take care of your own health. This CV-19 is nothing more than a seasonal flu which has mutated just like the body over comes exposure to such. I only wear a mask because mandated and NEVER put it over my nose because I KNOW I breath oxygen and breathing you own Co2 puts you in a HYPOXIA mode meaning your O2 ( oxyegen ) level is drastictly diminished which lowers your immune system hence you have vunerability to sickness. Figure it out ( SHEEPLE ) you have been deluded by your masters into brain washed slavery of your mind. No thanks ( not me ) enjoy your servitude to the globalist and their selfish minions. Cheers.

No one is saying wearing a mask is 100% effective, but it does minimise risk in (some scenarios) you passing the virus on, and in small percentages you inhaling the virus. 

 

You are taking the extreme example - in the sense because it's not 100% you deem it absurd. You're thought process is actually quite absurd.

the number of cases remain the same, testing or not. Testing simply gives the REPORTED numbers.

Looks like Thailand is about to start it's 2nd wave of infections, and it all started from here and those Yanks brought it here. We can thank them all for this.

Thailand has carried out nearly 600,000 tests, if you believe there stats. There is no independent verification this number is true. 

 

The UK with roughly the same population as Thailand has carried out nearly 12 million tests. 

 

The USA has carried out 40 million tests, almost equivelent 75% of Thailands populaton !

Your whole post is a pre-programmed response reflex from the machine world which is your true master, hiding disguised as a geo-gnome in your picket-fenced garden. It is apparent by your syntax that you missed installing the newest upgrades, which would have made your post more understandable. Cheerio.

I do not see any masks in this picture,there must be ma lot more pictures taken at the same event.

Any masks?

They mingle with people from the US,they better hope no one became infected there.

 

[Mikeasq60]

It looks like life's been pretty good to those bureaucrats, ask the people on the street if their OK!

[ChrisKC]

Do we believe any country's figures? 

 

We should only criticise or challenge the numbers anywhere when we have proper evidence. Impossible, I know, so I believe what I am told until I discover some other definitive truth - that I accept is probably impossible too.

Ya Im American a mask should be voluntary. Oh im 62 yo work in SW Asia, many young people at my camp under 40 tested positive for CV. But the senior citizen (ME) was negative. So what their telling you about who should be concerned is bunk

Predicted to be the hardest hit economy in Southeast Asia. Kudos for destroying your economy, kudos for not caring about the poor and starving, 

kudos for eliminating income for millions, kudos for never missing your own paychecks, kudos for using the virus as an excuse for political repression and kudos for not canceling that submarine order and using that money to help those who can no longer help themselves.
